Forest Ranger finds mystery cabin in the woods

Soft isn't a term is use for boys/men this day and age I'm 32 was raised by a woman that out works most guys my age now, and she's 62 and been working for 52 years I tell you by age 9 I had Callused hands from pointless manual labor she would give me BC she knew how hard the real world was gonna be! Our problem this day and age is that the option of sitting on your ass and playing video games has taken over getting out exploring, fishing hunting all the things that make you harder look back 100years the male figure back then was what few of us are today! Now back to the domesticated bigfoot!

I think I was the only kid in my neighborhood who did not own a video game machine. It was not because my parents couldn't afford one, but because I never asked for one. Back then it seemed like EVERY kid had a Nintendo.

Has anyone ever actually considered doing this? I mean if it wasn't for my wife and daughter I honestly think I would try to fall off the grid and see what happened.

I'm thinking of building a small and very basic log cabin on the back of our property by the creek just for fun. I have a wooded hillside on my property that is mostly covered with pines. I'm considering cutting them down and building a small cabin out of them for my boy to play in and hang out in with his buddies or girlfriends when he gets older. I'm thinking about waiting until he is maybe 8-12 years old so we can build it together. He is only 5 right now.
 
I did it when I was 20 my jeep my dog and basic Boy Scout survival skills lived up in the mtns out near tumbling creek va only lasted a few months but was a good learning experience my lean to hut and rock fireplace was still up there about 8 years ago wasn't as fancy as the shit this guy had but it worked and was warm!

I was the only one I knew that (1) didn't have cable TV, just 4 channels from the antenna, and no Nintendo. My parents bought a computer instead and believed if I wanted to play games, I had to learn how to do them on that... back in those days you had to actually know how to get around in DOS etc.
I hated them for it and would find reasons to go over to friends' houses to watch TV and play games.
Now... I completely understand and respect them for that. I was among the first of my group to learn how to program and how computers actually worked, and how to build my own toys working in a shop or building a tree fort outside instead of sitting on my butt playing Nintendo.

Getting ab it off topic, but I firmly believe that now, knowing how to program, and really understanding how electronic devices work is a skill that is incredibly useful and opens a lot of doors. Kind of the opposite of the original point of this thread, except that it gets back to the same point that if you understand the core of how things work and can build your own tools - whether that is building with things you find in the woods or more advanced electronics - you can do a lot more on your own.
